It was our first visit, and everything was absolutely delicious! The fried green tomatoes were to die for—OMG, so good! The fish was perfectly flaky, and the shrimp was just right—not overly breaded at all! The prices were quite reasonable as well. If you're lucky, you'll have Melanie as your server; she was warm and very attentive. She anticipated our drink refills without us even having to ask. She made us feel like honored guests in her home! Thank you, Melanie, for such a wonderful dining experience! We’ll definitely be back soon!

Overall, I would rate the food a 2 out of 5.

For instance, the waitress simply placed the bread plates at one end of the long table instead of circulating to take orders. This resulted in several people needing to relay information back and forth, as she couldn’t hear them and they couldn’t hear her. She appeared to wait until we discovered that we were expected to pass the menus down to her. Additionally, she didn’t clear the salad plates from the table, which left little room for our main dishes. Our drinks also went unrefilled. Most of the food was served barely warm, and when a dish was mistakenly given to the wrong person and partly eaten, she didn’t offer to replace it. The replacement took 15 to 20 minutes, and it was served without any sides for the person to eat. The process of getting and settling our checks was very slow, and when we requested boxes for takeout, the waitress returned 10 minutes later without them, claiming she didn’t know how many we needed. When we asked for bags because we had ice cream that needed to stay cold, it took too long for her to respond, so we decided to grab them from the kitchen ourselves. The restaurant wasn’t crowded at the time, and there appeared to be 4 to 6 servers on duty. On a positive note, the food was quite tasty, and the atmosphere was decent, though there were several flies buzzing around the dining area.

Initially, I was very disappointed when I saw it—the loaded baked potato was just a plain potato with a small cup of toppings, the broccoli looked okay but I expected it to be bland, and the pork chops, which were the main reason I ordered, looked unappetizing. However, since I was stuck at my wife’s store, Angie’s Gardens, nearby, I decided to go ahead and eat it. I was pleasantly surprised. Despite how it looked in the to-go container, the food was absolutely fantastic! The broccoli was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the pork chops were juicy and flavorful, and the baked potato tasted great once I added the salt, pepper, butter, sour cream, and cheese from the packet. I didn’t try the apples because I was already full after the main dishes. I highly recommend this place, will definitely order again for delivery, and look forward to visiting in person!

The portions are a bit small, which is noticeable with the potatoes. The service is somewhat slow and inattentive, so I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5. The menu has plenty of tasty options to choose from.
